Woof - Dog Communications 101

Past event
May 9, 2018, 6:30 to 8 PM

If you've been frustrated by your inability to understand your dog's messages to you (or frustrated by your inability to make yourself understood by your dog!), Shelburne Dog Park Committee may have the solution.

On Wednesday, May 9 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Deb Helfrich from Gold Star Dog Training will break down some language barriers with her lecture: "Woof! Dog Communication in the Human World." Is a yawn always just a yawn? Why does a dog shake off even when he's not wet? Why is a growl a good thing? Is a tail wag always friendly?

During this fun, interactive, multi-media presentation, participants will learn about basic dog body language, how dogs express themselves, why dogs may bite. You'll even get to try your hand at reading body language through some group exercises.

Come join other dog lovers fun, free and informative event sponsored by the Shelburne Village Dog Park Committee. Please, no dogs, just humans!

The program will be held in the Shelburne Town Center Activity Room, on the first floor, near the gym. There will be refreshments and an amazing door prize: a portrait of your pet by gifted artist Misoo Filan! No need to register in advance.
